Awesome Hunt!

This has got to be the hardest bird I've ever worked for.....It started out at about 5:30 I got set up 50 yards from the tree these 4 gobblers were roosted in....I thought for sure I was in the chips....I did a couple tree yelps and clucks while they were in the tree and they gobbled their heads off, I thought there could have been no way for them to resist.....then once the birds were on the ground they were headed right for me.....and then it happened a hen that was roosted right above me flew into my decoys then walked off.....taking all 4 gobblers right with her.........and to get a little worse it started pouring down rain, so i waited for it to be a light rain and remembered that turkeys go to open fields while it's raining, so i crawled up to a 10 acre winter wheat field and did about 2 yelps when all 4 gobblers gobbled not 40 yards from me just over the lip in the field i just laid down and what seemed about 4 hours later (5minutes) they all struted over the lip and there they were they started to get nervous when they hadn't seen any birds because i didnt have time to put out decoys so at 47 yards i picked him out and pulled the trigger.....smoke was in front of me from my barrel and i couldnt tell if i got him because there wasn't anything flopping...i walked out there and there it was...talk about smoked turkey.... ....24lbs. 11 inch beard and 1 1/4 inch spurs.....gobbler number 2 in 2 springs of hunting! Im pumped to head to missouri this coming weekend!!!! Hope everyone else is having the luck I've had in my turkey hunting career!
